I have a seasonal camping spot. The well water the campground uses is not treated. Consequently, bacteria from the well water likes to take root in the water heater and/or water lines and I get a wonderful rotten egg (sulfur) smell.
You said this is a seasonal site. When you're not there do you drain the hot water tank? I've heard from others that the hot water tank is the culprit for a rotten egg smell.
If you Google "rotten egg smell for RV hot water heater" you'll come up with many, many posts on this problem. In fact, the Suburban Water Heater Co. made a YouTube on it.
